RODERICK DICKERSON

The raspy and powerful voice of Gerard Brooks Made the song’s lyrics get your attention and the full background vocal (The Hill Family) carried the show’s title. Accented with the smooth Rapping Style of Paul Goodson and music produced and preformed by Dray Hill was something that Mr. Dickerson wanted for his theme song.

Thank you Roderick for allowing me to be a part of such a great ministry!

We at Churchouse Productions are excited about the new brother and sister artist group that has come aboard! This young Duo has been around and involved with music all their lives. The guitarist and vocalist form a great team and bring a New Neo-Soul flavor sound to the table, with their 1st single, “Make U Smile”.

This song features the soulful smooth strums from guitarist A.M.H. and the silky smooth voice from A.A. H. Their song will make it’s 1st major recital as a sound track in the upcoming movie, “Welcome to Faith-Town / Real Love”. We look forward to revealing more about these young people and their music sometime in 2018!

Book synopsis:
I am proud to say that I have been involved in music for over 40 years. From the mid-70s until today. I have been on both sides of music’s influence. I have experienced it’s negative side, and now, it’s positive side. Yes! Music is very influencing and Powerful! It has the ability to bypass language and age barriers. Within my years of making music I have come to realize that there is more to it than meets the ear.

According to the Bible, (2 Kings 3:15; “But now bring me a minstrel.” And it came about, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him), Music that is anointed has ability to draw, close to us, the very presence of God! and his works made visible!

That same principle works on the other side of the spirit world also. Music that is fleshy, (Galatians 5:19-21; Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy,[a] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do[b] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.), has the ability to draw, into our presence, the very presence of Satan! And his works I made visible!

Because the Lord has allowed me to come into this type of information, I believe that it is my responsibility to share this information with all of the people that God has gifted with musical and lyrical abilities. I want to introduce you to this book. Below you will find a list of chapters in this book.

Some of the Cast, Crew and Extras for big church scene. Filmed at Unity Temple

A few scenes from the movie!

SYNOPSIS:

Tonya Jones, (Jala Buckley) a young lady who grew up facing tragic life circumstances, was one day, invited to church by her new friend Cindy (Carmen Greer).

Jamerson Smith, (Daniel Jeffries) a privileged young man, raised in church enjoyed exercising his advantage over single women that saw him as their best choice for a potential husband.

Deacon and sister Smith, (Cornelius and Stacey Sims) have been preparing a meeting, with the hope of marriage, between their son Jamerson and Bishop Watson’s daughter Rachel, (FaDora). If Jamerson ‘s parents plan succeeds, that would give them a better chance to be appointed a higher position in the church Organization.

The unpredicted introduction of Tonya to Jamerson has interfered with the plans of the interested single women and also with the carefully developed plans of Jamerson’s parents.

Will the end of everyone’s journey ever allow them to see that Real Love can’t be found in just going to church, but can only be found in coming to Jesus?

We welcome you to Faith-Town Real Love to find out!

Churchouse Productions is very excited about being part of its first movie, ”Welcome to Faith-Town”! The journey to get to this point is something that the artist Dray Hill can tell best.

Yes… this Journey was very unexpected but a great blessing in disguise. I have been involved in music for the majority of my life. My first attempt at film started with music video for one the song then I wrote entitled “Trust and Believe”. Looking at it now, it was a very rough looking job. It was the first of more videos and interviews for myself and for clients to come.

The thought to move into making a short film came in 2015. I wanted to put on a concert but with a different twist. I had three artists including myself and did not want just the usual concert.The Lord gave me an idea to put together a story and break it up into three parts. Each part would feature each artist in the concert.The part that they played in the film would stop at a certain part, then actually introduced them live on stage. They would complete their musical set then the second part of the film would feature of the second artists then stop and introduce them. The same thing would happen with the last artist.Thus, it was a concert with movie in it!

The first movie featured a young man that was encouraged by each of the concert featured artist to come to Christ. By the end of each part of the film and each artist performance, the young man did receive Christ. I did not want the title of the concert to be so obvious so I wanted a code that would describe Jesus without being so direct. So, I equated the word, “faith” with what we must have to believe in Jesus. (without faith it is impossible to please God). Then I equated “town” to where and how we should stay in Jesus. (Jesus said if my word abide in you and you abide in me,you can ask what you will and I should be done unto you). Each artist was a welcoming him to come to Jesus. this is how the Welcometo the Faith Town title was created.

In 2016, I decided to do another concert with the same concept. But I needed another story. This time the Lord gave me the idea about following the spiritual journey of a young woman to Faith Town. During the writing process I was introduced to some new found friends who were involved in the film industry. They read my story, liked it and then came on board to begin to put together a much better film than I would have by myself.

After the concert which was called, “Welcome to Faith town 2 / Real Love”, was done we decided to run even further with this short film. We decided to make it a serious feature length film and began working on it for the next two months. What we had that after all the work was decent but we all thought that it could be made better.

In 2017 most of the main cast along with new cast and crew began out working to make this film reach its top potential. Please feel free to follow us as we put this film together on our Faithtown Facebook Page! It is planned for release in 2018!

Dray Hill has been involved in music for over 20 years. It is now, that the Lord has began to fine tune his ministry. His style of music features the bass Guitar and solid gospel lyrics. It has been coined as “FAITHAPHONIC” which means the “sound of faith”.
Under the experience mentorship of minister James Mitchell Jr, formerly of the Detroit Emeralds, Dray’s ministry presentation has become an event of praise and worship.This first release under the Churchouse Productions label formerly known as Churchouse Records is entitled, “Real Christians”.Dray’s music has been revamped, remixed, powered up and upgrade!
“The first reason I wanted to release the Maxi Single, “Real Christian” is because of the injection of new life given by the engineers, AJ Sparks and Author Pugh, with additional instrumental contributions from guitarists Ron Preist, Aaron Hill and label mate, gospel artists Tim Evans.”
“The second and most important reason…” say Dray “… is the clear warning signs of the times. Descriptions tell us about the activities that will be happening on earth which will give us an estamated time about Jesus’s return.”
Dray goes on to say…”The song Real Christians is a wake up call for Christians all over the world to tighten up, shape up, and get in the fight. With the mission to be a light to the world, the salt of the earth, for others to be ready when Jesus comes for His church.”
The anthem, Real Christian has been inspired by God to cause His Nation, according to (1st Peter 2:9), to come together and stand firm. Churchouse Productions supports this call, 1st Pt. 2:9. The “1P2:9 Banner”, CHP Wristbands and of course the Real Christians Maxi Single.
Will Real Christians please stand up and join the movement!!!
Dray’s project is scheduled for release on April 25, 2015. To stay updated for information about the actual drop date visit us frequently at facebook, www.churchouseproductions.com .

How many times in life you experienced headache, heartache, hardship and pain? A love one goes home to glory. The bills are adding up and you do not have a job or money to pay them. Or what about the pain of having an illness or being sick most of the time where it is a never ending battle. You take test after test and go to different doctors or a specialist and the doctors really do not know what is going on with you or how to treat the pain or illness. What will you do when times get rough and hard, when you lose hope and your back is up against the wall? Let me tell you what to do. You hold on to the Lord’s word and you stand on the promises that are in the bible. We all experience tough times in our life where we think in our mind there is no answer or resolution. Some of the problems are other people problems that we take on knowingly and unknowingly, which become burdens in our life. I know it is hard sometimes to hold on to the word of God remain in prayer and faith in order to have peace within in our heart and mind. It is only human to feel weary and give up on life and the dreams the Lord placed in our heart or the assignment and purpose that must be fulfilled in our life.

When the Lord promised a nation to Abraham, the Lord specifically told Abraham to leave the country, his father’s house and his relatives and go to an unknown land he did not know anyone so he could become the father of the nation. Where the Lord was going to bless him and make Abraham a blessing to others (Genesis 12:1-2 NLT). Did Abraham question the Lord’s intention? Did Abraham stop believing in the Lord? No! Abraham did not stop believing in the Lord. As a matter of fact Abraham moved out in faith knowing that he could stand on the promises of the Lord by giving up everything he was familiar with in the city he was in.

Now think about the calling Abraham had on his life when the Lord told him to move and leave everything. Abraham left immediately without a question or doubt in his mind. His faith was so strong and he trusted the Lord so much that he knew the Lord’s word could not come back null or void. Some of you reading this article today the Lord has spoken to you and told you specifically to do a task or go somewhere unknown and you did not go or do it. You let the enemy talk you out of the blessing the Lord had for you and only you. The enemy came in and persuaded you not to go, because you did not have what you needed to go. You started thinking and rationalizing with the word of the Lord and what he told you to do. Until the enemy persuaded you enough to tell you, you do not have any money, job, friend, husband, family members to support you or you were going to be alone doing that specific task.

Instead of standing on the promises of the Lord told and the blessing he had for you, you let the enemy come in and take your blessing away where you have nothing. Some of you reading this article are just like Sarah, Abraham’s wife. The Lord told Abraham that Sarah was going to have a child and Sarah was listening to the conversation and silently laughed on the inside. The Lord asked Abraham “why Sarah laugh, or say can a woman like me have a baby?” The Lord told her “Is there anything hard for the Lord?” Sarah denied her silent laugh because she feared the Lord she was so afraid and did not say anything else at that time. Sarah told Abraham they was too old and she was well past child bearing years that she could not have any children. Back in those days Sarah was considered to be a barren woman. A barren woman was looked upon with shame because they could not have children. When the Lord promises you a blessing he does exactly what he says. The Lord promised a son to Sarah and even though Sarah was in her 90’s she had a son (Genesis 18 NLT).

I was living in an apartment with my children. I was harassed by management every other day. Every time management called I would sweat, get a headache and my stomach would cringe. I instantly was sick. The neighbors made false accusations on my family, saying my son and nephew were causing trouble, hanging with people who sold drugs and intimated maintenance. I knew this was not true. My son and nephew were either working, at school, or at church with the Pastor. It was so horrible. I would fall to my knees and cry whole heartedly to God about my situation. In the midst of my trial and tribulation I continued to stand on the promises of the Lord. I fasted and remained in prayer. I knew the Lord would not leave me nor forsake me. I stood firm on the promises of the Lord. I knew what the Lord said he was going to do in my life and I watched the power of God move. One day the property manager called me into a meeting and evicted my family out of the apartment. With humbleness and grace I asked the property manager to give me at least 30 days to find a new apartment. The property manager continued to say he was taking me to court and the entire situation was out of his hands and to contact his Attorney. Right then I knew I was dealing with a negative spirit a principality I shall say. I knew management wanted to see me act a different way, but I didn’t. I politely told asked him for the Attorney card so I could pass it to my Attorney and then told him to have a good day and left and went to work.

On my way to work I continued to stand on the promises of the Lord by reciting different scriptures. You know when you know, you know the Lord has something for you and you know this because your inner spirit will tell you. I boldly came to the throne of the Lord and said “Lord I know you have a blessing for me when this is over. I never was evicted from a house in my life. Lord I am waiting patiently for my blessing. You said through every trial and tribulation there is a blessing. I am trusting and waiting on you Lord.” The Lord said in his word that he would not leave the righteous. I continued to pray for guidance and direction. A week later I applied at another apartment and was approved and my deposit was only $435. Right then I knew the favor of God was with me. Even though I had 30 days, I was moved in 2 weeks. I love my new apartment. The entire atmosphere is different, it is very peaceful. After I was settled, I asked the Lord for my blessing, because I knew it was coming. I stood on his promise through the storm and trusted Him. Two weeks later the dealership called and invited me to customer appreciation day. I did not expect to trade in my Chrysler 300. I like my car very much. The Lord upgraded me to something I did not expect. I was literally in tears and very joyful. Let’s just say I asked the Lord “Are you for real? You mean to tell me you bless your children like this.”

When you stand on the promises of the Lord and you trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding the Lord will deliver and give you the desires of your heart. Faith and trust is what pleases the Lord. There are so many promises the Lord has in store for you and in order for you to unlock the door to receive those blessings, or move to the next level in your life, you must trust and stand on the promises of the Lord.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him over all the land of Egypt. Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”

For those of you who are not familiar with the story of Joseph. I am going to do a recap of his story of power and position. Joseph’s story can be found in Genesis chapters 30-50 for your leisure to read. Joseph was one of Jacob’s 12 sons (I want you all to remember Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were amongst the significant people in the Old Testament that were wealthy and powerful. And Jacob was the third link in God’s plan to start a nation from Abraham). Joseph was considered to be one of Jacob’s favorite. Joseph was hated by his brothers for this. In Genesis 37:3-4 NKJV states “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. The tunics made for Joseph was considered a robe or cloak. Robes were used for warmth to bundle up, wrap babies, or to sit or even to serve as security for a loan. But most of the robes were knee length, short sleeved and plain. Joseph’s robe was the kind worn by royalty, ankle length and colorful.

The robe became a symbol of Jacob’s favoritism toward Joseph, and it aggravated the already strained relations between Joseph and his brothers. During this time Joseph had two dreams, one dream was his brothers bowing down to him and the sun, moon and eleven stars were bowing down to him as well. Once Joseph disclosed his dream to his brothers and father, his brothers hated him and were jealous of him and his father Jacob rebuked him. Joseph’s brothers were already jealous and angry over the possibility of being ruled by their little brother. Because his brothers were already jealous and angry of him they wanted to kill him, but his older brother Reuben told them not to take his life or shed any blood but to throw him in a cistern in the wilderness. Now a cistern was a large vessel which is used to hold a reserve of water. Cisterns can be either above or below the grown and come in a range of sizes and shapes. Judah which was another one of Joseph’s brothers suggested selling Joseph while Rueben was not around to the Ishmaelite’s. So when Rueben went back to the cistern he discovered Joseph was gone and thought he was killed while in the wilderness so he took his robe; slaughtered a goat and dipped his robe in the blood and took it back to his father to look at it and confirm it was Joseph.

While Jacob was grieving over his son Joseph’s death, Joseph was being transported to Egypt by the Ishmaelite’s and was bought by Potiphar which was Pharaoh’s official. Joseph worked for Potiphar as a slave for a long time and during this time Potiphar’s wife came onto Joseph several times. And each time Joseph would reject her and say he will not sin against God or do evil in his sight. So, one day Potiphar’s wife set Joseph up by telling a lie to Potiphar which caused Joseph to be put in jail. While Joseph was in jail he met a cupbearer and a baker, who was considered trusted men of Pharaoh. A cupbearer was a taster for Pharaoh he had to make sure his food was not poisoned before Pharaoh ate it. These two trusted men were suspected of conspiring against Pharaoh and were locked up until the matter was investigated and resolved. Well one day while these trusted men were in jail they both had a dream the same night and Joseph interpreted their dream. He told the cupbearer he was going to get out of jail and his job will be restored back with Pharaoh and the baker would die. However, Joseph interpreted came to pass and he asked the cupbearer to remember him after he was released. A couple years passed by and Pharaoh went to the cupbearer about a dream he had an asked him if he knew someone who could interpret his dream and the cupbearer remembered Joseph in prison. The King Pharaoh sent his guards to go and get Joseph so he could interpret his dream. Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and that is when Pharaoh recognized that Joseph was a man “in whom is the spirit of God.” So, he asked Joseph to be his second in command over the land of Egypt.

Joseph rose quickly to the top from prison to Pharaoh’s palace. His training for this important position involved being first a slave and then a prisoner. But in every situation Joseph learned the importance of serving God and others. Even though Joseph was deceived and betrayed by his brothers God had a plan to position Joseph with power to use him for his glory in the land of Egypt. Even though Joseph became second in control over Egypt, the Lord made it where his brothers who deceived and betrayed him had to come to Egypt because of the famine that took place in Canaan to get food from Joseph. When they came to get food Joseph immediately knew who they were and wept but not one time did he get arrogant or deny them of food. Instead Joseph gave each of them food, their camels food, put their silver back in their bags and treated each of them with respect, kindness and love. How many people reading this article have experienced a division in your family amongst your siblings? How did that make you feel?

But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.

I want to continue to encourage you today who are reading this article even though you are struggling with insecurity issues, of becoming more confidence, or building up your self-esteem.

He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the perilous pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. The Lord is your shield, and your deliverer and refuge.

I want you to encourage those that those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever, as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. The Lord said “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” As the prophet Isaiah said “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed “Psalms 139 and Isaiah 53:5 NKJV.”

May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His word today. For more information on Michelle Moorer, please visit www.michellemoorer.com or email Michelle@michellemoorer.com

My name is Michelle Moorer and before I became Evangelist Michelle Moorer I had to learn how to discipline my mouth. There were times in my life where my mouth would say just anything. Every word that left my mouth was a curse word even in my daily conversations. Do you know someone like this or is this you? Cursing became a normal way of talking for me. I cursed due to a lack of knowledge of not knowing how to live my life. I was saved, but through many years of living in sin I backslide and forgot all about God. I was living in darkness and did not realize it.

Proverbs 18:21 KJV states “Death and life is in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Through all the years I would curse I did not realize that I was only condemning my soul, cursing my family and decreasing my life span. I lived in sin for 10 years not ever progressing or moving forward. I wondered why I could not keep money in my pocket, a job or a car. Money left as fast as it came. I could not keep a job for more than five years and my car would break down every year. It was so ridiculous! I finally came to the conclusion that something was wrong with my life.

In James 3:10 NKJV and NIV states “Out of the same mouth proceeded blessing and cursing. My brethren these things ought not to be. A few words spoken in anger can destroy a relationship that took years to build. Before you speak remember that words are like fire—you can neither control nor reverse the damage they can do. Always listen to what God tells you! God will never tell you anything wrong. James chapter 3:5 KJV “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth!”

Reflect

Do you remember a time in your life where someone said to you “watch what you ask for and definitely what you say to people?” Think about a time in your life where you spoke something negative or positive and it came to past? Often at times you would hear from people it was the laws of attraction that was usually referred to as Karma. How did it make you feel when you thought about something you said caused destruction? What did you do? How are you going to change so this would never happen again?

Prayer

Father God, in the name of Jesus help me to not to speak words of destruction but only words of encouragement. For your word says words are like a honeycomb sweetness to health and bones. Thank God for controlling my tongue and listening to you more. In Jesus Name! Amen!
